  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen curly fries (about 16 ounces)
  • Optional: seasoning of choice (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add the Fries: Place the frozen curly fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding for best crispiness.
  3. First Cooking Phase: Cook the fries for 5 minutes at 400ºF to start the crisping process.
  4. Flip or Shake Fries: Carefully flip the fries over or shake the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and browning on all sides.
  5. Second Cooking Phase: Continue cooking the fries for an additional 5 minutes or until they are crispy and golden browned.
  6. Add Seasoning: If desired, immediately sprinkle your preferred seasoning over the hot fries and toss to coat evenly before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if required to ensure fries crisp up properly.
  • Cooking times may vary based on air fryer model and size of fries; keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • For extra flavor, toss fries with seasoning blends right after cooking while still hot.
  • Frozen curly fries are best served immediately for optimal texture.
